Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a colorful illustration of a scene from "The false Mansur punished before the judge and expelled from the city, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Seventeenth Night". The scene shows a man seated on a raised platform, wearing an orange robe over a green shirt and white head covering. He sits on a pink and brown patterned platform with a small staircase leading up to it. The man gestures with his right hand. In front of him, to the left, two men hold another man by his long hair and clothing; the man appears to be stumbling to the left. Two other people stand behind them; a woman on the left in a white top and blue skirt and a man on the right in white clothing. A tree stands on the left against a red wall. The background of the scene consists of a blue wall with gold designs inside an archway and a blue sky. A border of text in a foreign language is at the bottom.
